Sainte-Thérèse's childhood home, with the family living room and her recovery room

It was in this elegant salmon-pink pavilion that little Thérèse Martin grew up, surrounded by her father and four sisters, until she entered the Carmelite convent at the age of 15. Time has erased nothing of the memory, and every room still breathes the presence of the Saint: the kitchen fireplace evokes the great grace of Christmas 1886, the room where she was healed by the Virgin's smile on Sunday May 13, 1883... Donations from visitors help maintain the house and garden.

Unbelievable experience visiting childhood home of St. Therese! I had to pinch myself! We had to wait a little bit on arrival. Only a limited number of people are allowed in at one time. We were only 2 Americans. They took 2 large groups of French speakers first then us 2 alone. There is an audio recording detailing each room so we had the tour in English. It is a short but very moving tour. You enter where the kitchen once was, and then see the family dining room. Climbing the original staircase where Therese overheard her father lamenting when would she grow up after Christmas Midnight Mass you enter her bedroom. The bed she slept is still there and I burst into tears sitting on a bench near it listening to the tale of Mother Mary appearing to her there. You also see her father, St Louis's bedroom. Then back down to small gift shop and display of her personal items: toys, clothes, rosary, cross, etc... The exit is through a small garden with statue of her and her father. Free of charge. Donation.

Fin du périple à Lisieux par un passage à la maison familiale des Martin "Les Buissonnets" située dans une petite ruelle pentue (nommée ruelle du Paradis) où Sainte Thérèse y passera onze ans de sa vie jusqu’à son entrée au Carmel.
Malheureusement les visites ne se font que le matin mais nous avons pu avoir un aperçu de cette petite maison et de déambuler dans son paisible petit jardin.
